Nearly a fifth of Canada’s students are welcomed from other nations, and at IEC Abroad we’ve helped many of them to settle in the country, so here are some of the basics international students in Canada may need to know about Canadian life.
Canadian culture is influenced by British and French traditions, but its historical openness towards immigration means the country is a melting pot of many different cultures. Canadians are big fans of professional sports, with the most popular being the National Hockey League. Most Canadian cities host numerous sporting events, theatrical productions, and musical performances; and many emerging artists often play at university campus venues.
